WHY IT RATES: The iconic European rail pass brand is encouraging travelers to embrace the charms of Europe in the off-season with a 20% discount on select passes.
Autumn in Europe features less crowded trains, fewer people at attractions and a host of sensational events like Oktoberfest, La Mercè, The Alba White Truffle Festival and myriad other wine & food celebrations. Plus the continent's festive Christmas markets, which are best explored by rail. —Scott Hartbeck, Europe travel writer.

Embrace the Freedom of Summer All Year Round
For many, summer symbolizes the ultimate freedom – the freedom to explore new cities, bask in nature, and create unforgettable memories with friends old and new. Eurail believes that this sense of freedom shouldn't be confined to just one season. Whether it's the captivating art in museums or the vibrant cultures that thrive year-round, there is always something new to discover in Europe, no matter the season.
We encourage travelers to sit back, relax, and take summer with them as they explore Europe during the off-season. Off-peak travel not only allows for more relaxed and leisurely rail journeys but also often means lower accommodation prices and shorter lines at popular attractions and sites.
It provides an opportunity to experience life in each destination in a more authentic and immersive way, as the locals do. Imagine yourself savoring gelato from a family-owned shop in Sicily in September or marveling at the breathtaking views over the Carpathian Mountains in October. These moments are waiting for travelers all year long with a Eurail Pass.
